Obs. — One was taken to the shop of a bird-stuflfer in Greenock, Nov., 
1868, supposed to have been killed near that town, as it was in the flesh. 
Gray, 1. c. Another, recorded in Yarrell’s Br. B., 4th ed., p. 184, as hav- 
ing been killed in Unst, Shetland, in winter 1860- 61, proved to be Surnia 
ulula , and is so recorded in Saxby’s B. of Shet., p. 54. Dresser (B. of E., 
pt. 11, 12) has first called attention to the fact of these occurrences of the 
Hawk-Owl in Britain having been those of the American species.

[Syrnium nebulosum ( Forst .). Barred Owl. 
Obs. — Brehm, in his Lehrbuch, p. 69, says this species is rare in 
Norway and Sweden, but gives no authority for this statement, which

[Nyctale acadica ( Gm .). Saw-whet Owl. 
Obs. — Sir W. Milner, in Zool., 1860, p. 7104, records one of this 
species as having been obtained near Beverley, Yorkshire, but Harting, in 
his Hand-book, considers it extremely doubtful, and Prof. Newton, in his 
4th ed. of YarrelPs Br. B., states his belief that Sir. W. Milner had mis- 
taken the species.]
